The Great Marmite Debate

OK. Forget the burning issues of the day; i.e. the London bombs, the war in Iraq, whether Doctor Who will save the world from The Master. I would like to settle the following question once and for all:

Marmite. Yes or No?

I think it's vile and Mr Brown's first act as Prime Minister should be to ban it. Others will disagree.

Instead of spreading it on your toast, put a generous teaspoon of Marmite into a cup and fill with boiling water to make a warming winter drink.

It's still fecking disgusting.

why would you eat "yeast extract"? I mean, that's what causes thrush.....

Mmmm, mmmmm, feeling peckish? Why not spread the cause of an irritating vaginal infection on your toast.

It is the finest food known to man. Try it on a sandwich with peanut butter, absolutely delicious!

Can't hold a candle to a Lyle's Golden Syrup sandwich or a black treacle butty.

Put it under the cheese on your cheese on toast, mmm.

The Marmite that I'm on at the moment is the limited edition Guinness stuff. Absolutely fantastic. Yum, and indeed yum.

Oh I feel you ought, Pete, and as you say, spread under toasted cheese is absolutely superb.

I've just changed my daughter's soiled nappy. I think I'd rather eat that.

I'd rather turn my rifle round, put the muzzle over my mouth, pull the trigger and eat that!

Personaly. I think Marmite was invented by two roofers, who found they had bought far to much tar!
